Yesterday I started coding a CVS log analyzer. It is (will
be) a tool that processes the CVS log of a project and
generates a graphical representation of its branches. We can
add other features later. :-)
By the way, I was told about a (uugh) perl/Tk script which
does that, but I couldn't find it anywhere. If you know of
it, please let me know.

And so it is!
I couldn't finish releasing G.H.O.S.T. yesterday, but now
it's already there! From now on 2001/01/18 will be a
internetional holiday to celebrate its death! While
it decays into dust, I'll be working on the second version,
which will add at least the following features:

I decided to release G.H.O.S.T. version 1.0 today! It was a
dificult decision, because I'd like to release a really good
package, no known bugs, everything working correctly, blah
blah blah, but , in fluent en_BR, I got tired of trying to
"get milk from a stone". So I decided to release it the way
it is and start working in a new version, rewritten from
scratch. Thus the first version has born dead. But don't be
sorry about that! As a G.H.O.S.T., it must die to exist, and
so be it!
As soon as I finish uploading it, you can check it out at
SourceForge: http://SourceForge.net/projects/netghost/

Hummm... I think I need to put something that remembers me
that advogato exists in my crontab. :-) Well, I'm about to
release the first official version of G.H.O.S.T. still this
year, because if I don't do so, I never will. I realized
that I'll never get enough time to let it be the way I want,
and I think most people are not going to wait until year
2187! :-) Regarding "Seis", I decided to rewrite it in
Python. So, code @ SourceForge.net is obsolete from now on.
"Seis" is evolving a lot in its design ideas, and when ready
it will be a veeery funny game :-)

Hehe, it's been a long time since the last diary entry :-)
Well, let's go to the "cool" news:

I spent the Independence Day (sep. 7th) holiday at
Guarda do
Embaú, SC. What a beautiful beach! I found in a desert beach
nearby 4 dead penguins. I wanted to bring them home and
rebuild their skeletons, but I didn't find a way to carry
them with me. All that I could do is bring two penguin
heads. Now their are decaying is a small sand box, until
only the bones are left. Cool! :-)

This week I got two new toys: a dual pentium(tm) 100MHz
and
a HP Netserver 4/100 DF (80486DX4 processor). Both have
on-board SCSI adapters and flat cables to connect upto 7
devices plus a terminator (Yes, there's enough room in
them). :-)

I've been very busy this month working on MI-2.0. New
features include a new partitiong tool (using libparted),
text interface and a redesigned graphical interface. Also, a
much more powerfull kickstart-like configuration file,
support for GRUB and XFree 4.0.

Cool! I was invited today to join a project to write a
Visual Basic compiler/interpreter and an IDE for it. The
project is in the very beggining, but fortunately Conectiva
will be sponsoring it (at least I think Conectiva will).
BTW, people@cnc has already started blaming me for "solding
out my soul"... :-)
